About the NICHIAS logo

In ancient times, the dragonfly was a symbol of Japan itself. NICHIAS decided on the dragonfly trademark to reflect its vision of an exemplary Japanese company. The trademark was offcially registered in 1923. At that time, the dragonfly in the trademark was perched on the ground,but now it is flying towards the sky, mirroring our hopes for the future.
